你們有多少人已戴上了綠帽子? (How Many of You Have Already Put On the Green Hat?), leaflet 7255
A Chinese-language leaflet for Chinese People's Volunteers: a green turtle wearing a small green hat above two lines asking how many readers have 'put on the green hat' and whether the 'Soviet-Russian-style marriage law' has made them 'a turtle wearing a green hat'. The tell is the insult by idiom: both the turtle and the green hat are Chinese terms for a cuckold, aimed at the soldiers' wives and at the government that issued the law.
